Reactive Chlorine Species Reversibly Inhibit DnaB Protein Splicing in Mycobacteria
ABSTRACT Intervening proteins, or inteins, are mobile genetic elements that are translated within host polypeptides and removed at the protein level by splicing. In protein splicing, a self-mediated reaction removes the intein, leaving a peptide bond in place. While protein splicing can proceed in t...
